Description

Lignan oxymethyl transferase and use thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical fields of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering, in particular to an oxymethyl transferase participating in biosynthesis of schisandra dibenzocyclooctene lignans and precursor dibenzylbutane lignans thereof and application thereof.
Background
Lignans are a major class of secondary metabolites in nature, and have been isolated from a variety of medicinal and edible plants, with a variety of structures and new structures being discovered in recent years. Pharmacological activity also covers a variety of aspects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, neuroprotective, and the like. The lignans with various structures form the medicinal active foundation of the schisandra chinensis.
A variety of lignans from Schisandra chinensis have been isolated, and dibenzocyclooctene lignans and bisbenzylbutane lignans are the main types of lignans in Schisandra chinensis (Schisandra chinensis). Wherein the dibenzylbutane lignans include Pregomisin (Pregomisin, CAS number 66280-26-0), etc.; the dibenzocyclooctene lignans include Gomisin J (Gomisin J, CAS number 66280-25-9), and the like.
The chemical structure research of lignans shows that the structural modification of lignans can improve the physical and chemical properties of drugs, which is beneficial to the interaction between the drugs and receptors or enzymes, and causes corresponding biochemical and biophysical reactions.
Therefore, many researchers often select natural lignans as lead compounds, and derivatize the structures of the natural lignans by adopting chemical methods such as esterification, neutralization, substitution, acylation and the like so as to improve the solubility of the compounds, expand the clinical application range of the compounds and develop a large number of lignans derivatives with novel structures. For example, kuo et al performed an acylation reaction of the hydroxyl group at position 14 of (+) -gomisin K3, and reacted with various acid chlorides and sulfonyl chlorides, respectively, to synthesize 8 new compounds. Pharmacological and toxicological studies show that the derivatives can be used for treating hepatitis B. The 7 compounds have strong anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) effect, and the toxicity of the compound is obviously reduced compared with (+) -gomisin K3. Liu et al modified schisandra chinensis esters by acylation reaction to obtain 10 new derivatives, and screening results of in vitro antitumor effect show that two compounds have cytotoxicity on human glioma U87 cells.
However, lignans are far more than this, and studies on structural modification of lignans are far more than this. More novel lignan structure modification and modification methods are urgently needed to be researched.

More than 200 lignans and more than 100 neolignans have been isolated from the plant kingdom. Chinese medicinal materials of schisandra fruit, acanthopanax root, cuisine, arctium fruit, polygala root, capsule of weeping forsythia, carthamus flower and asarum herb, etc. all contain lignans. Many lignan components may have stereoisomers due to saturated cyclic moieties. Various lignans have been found to have activities of anticancer, antifungal, insecticidal, leukocyte-increasing, glutamic pyruvic transaminase-reducing, liver-protecting, cough-relieving, purgation, etc., but are not so much used as pharmaceutical agents.
